Hayden Turns Six!

Hayden's birthday party was yesterday and I'm pleased to report that it was a success! I did my usual pre-party stress out, but once everything was set up, it was really enjoyable. I made bike licenses for the kids to wear (they had their names and pictures on them), and there were crafts (make your own license plates and handlebar streamers). Mostly, there was just an open space for the kids to ride their bikes and run around. We were fairly close to the playground so some of the kids went back and forth to play (including Parker--attended to by my mom). I had a lot of fun putting it all together, and I was able to relax and enjoy the party (as evidenced by my lack of detail photos--darn!). I made these adorable signs for each "station": "maintain reservoir levels" for coffee/drink station, "tire rotation zone" for bagel stop, "engine zone" for cake, and my favorite "bio diesel" for fruit bowl. The "balloons" were just signs with balloons on them. Funny AND environmentally-conscious.
